Tidbits: The Atlas of Art Crime
Had to recommend this fascinating book written by a friend:
Ever think the art world is all hushed galleries and posh events? This book shatters that myth! It dives into the riveting true stories of art crime – thefts, vandalism, forgeries – packed with intrigue, controversy, and power struggles.
Check out "The Atlas of Art Crime: Thefts, Vandalism, and Forgeries" by Laura Evans (University of North Texas Associate Professor of Art Education) coming out in September.
Why you should carry it (or read it!):
Binge-worthy chapters: Delve into individual stories and track crimes across the world.
Engaging for all ages: Captivates history buffs, art enthusiasts, true crime fans, and anyone who loves a good mystery. I can bet this book will leave guests from every generation enthralled.
Event worthy: Imagine creating your own game of Musuem who-dun-it? Or maybe reveal some of your own collection’s hidden stories?
Bonus: I had the pleasure of meeting Laura when I guest lectured for her class, and her passion for this subject is contagious!
